The foll Owing Ships sailed from Madras the 25th OFtolier, 1808, under convoy of his Majesty's Ship Albion, viz. ..Plusnix, Lord Nelson, Preston, Ceylon, Experiment, Tigris, Glory, Ann, and Diana.

On the t 2th, of January the Phoenix, and on , the 19th, his Majesty's Ship AlbiOn, with the Ceylon, Preston, Tigris, and Ann, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope. - • .His Majesty's Ship Albion had suffered severely, having lost her miien mast, and thrown overboard t 6 of her guns. No apprehensions were entertained at the Cape for the safety of toe other Ships. The Surat Castle arrived at the Cape of Good }lope the 2 vit January ; tini:ect atom thenc tha 3d September, and left there the Oartey, Royal George, and Grenville.

The Perseverance Whaler sailed from St. Helena for England the 12th December ; and the Eliza al!toarrik ed at St. Helena the 30th December. • SPani,sh Papers lo the 3d inst. and letters of a more recent date arrived yesterday. The last intelligence from Cadiz . was dated the loth, at which, time the inhabitants,were in a state of tranquility, and several 'persons sitspetted of treachery were in prison, and are to be brought to . trial. The Supieme Central Junta had issued a Proclamation stating, that the poles and Germans, who,: had been the cause of so much jealousy', were men who hsd been dragged by force into Spain by the French ar mies, and bad since abandoned the French flag. The Proclamation asserts not `only the inno- celled of the Marquis De VILLBL, but declares that CI his Papers rAanifest nothing but his zeal and pa , trintisr n : stating, however, that he shall be brought to trial, and punishment if he deserves it but, on the other hand, exhorting the people, if the result is favourable to the Marquii, to do justice to his in jured honour. The tribunal is not to be composed of M.:tubers of the Supreme Junta, to avoid all sus picion of iiwour or partiality. The, Proclamation Chilly exhort* the people to be tranquil, and to re pose coutidenLe in the Government. The 'MIA hl" teresting.part, however, of tile news from Spain is' that contained in the Extraordinary Gazette of the Government, dated March 1, which states, that the Duke do ALBUQUERQUa had driven the French from Mora, 'in Castile, on the 18th, destroying many of them, and on the 22d had with great judgment re treated from adnsutgra': WE have received some more French Papers of the date of the 29th inst. They contain very little intelligence 014ny importance. With respe& to the operations in Spain, they are nearly silent, except that they annoianCe the entrance of a part of the French Army into Saragossa on the oth inst. We have this day made some farther extraas from the Portuguese Papers which arrived yesterday.— They contain'a very' detailed account of the French armies in Spain, which we are inclined to believe rather.exaggerated. There is,also an estimate given of the Spanish force, which must evidently be founded, in a great degree, upon conjecture. The population of almost every part of Spain is either ac. tually to arms, or ready to visa againit the French; but, with respett to regular troops, we do not think tlyv exceed the numbers mentioned in these Papers.. '~ The Treaty of Peate betwe'en Great sritain and Spain was last night laid before Parliament, and- our Readers will find a copy of it in the last page. Lord CASTLBREAGH last night moved for leave to bring in a Bill for establishing a permanent Local The speech with which his Lordship intro duced the Motion will, we are convinced, be pe- Itised With the utmost satisfaaion. • He bald, there Were Dow in Great Britain no less than 250 regi .ments of Local Militia, containing, upon an average, about 800 men each, making altogether a force of ~Upwards of tgs,wo men.

Thd Prince did iiot decline the Court carriages. Such a refusal would have been both surd - and impertinent. He repaired to the Palsee in his own carriage, bec.auie sueh is the custotn,of th Austrian Ooirt. The situation in which the two Courts stand, would rather prevent any extraordi nary ceremonies from attending the audience of the Ambassador from Austria. Far from disdaining,* Court to which he is accredited, 171. de Schwarzem berg complains of the coldness with which he is re ceived.
